but that's not enough new taxing for president obama in his war against investments and success. according to economist steven enton, tax increase on capital are some of the most destructive to the economy. he estimates tax hikes on capital gains, dividends and the top two individual tax rates which are already scheduled to occur in 2013 will shrink the economy by 6%, will lower wages by 5%, will decrease capital stock by almost 16%, and will lose the federal government almost $100 billion in tax revenue. adding an additional buffett tax on capital will only decrease wages and economic growth even further. why is this? because high taxes on income, particularly investment income, depress capital formation. there are fewer investments which damages the abilities of business to grow, to create jobs, or to pay higher wages. i challenge my colleagues to ask a room full of economists this question: does increasing the cost of capital lead to higher or lower economic growth and job creation? well, the answer is obvious. as president kennedy said when he endorsed a capital gains tax cut

york times" was a tool of the obama campaign? [laughter] >> they did think they were going to win. on the day of the election late in the afternoon, paul ryan who is getting ready to fly up to austin for the evening was talking to one of the people in the campaign and essentially said i am giving serious consideration to resigning as chairman of the house budget committee immediately in order to focus on being vice president-elect. they knew they were going into the fiscal cliff negotiations and the lame-duck session and he needed to concentrate on being vice president-elect and i asked governor romney about this and he said i was not 90% confident that we are going to win but as an indication i had written an acceptance or victory speech and i have not written a concession speech. now to be fair inside the romney campaign they have done some of the nate silber analytics and my political science friends said those people deep in the of the campaign said their analytic show they only had a 20% chance of winning but the romney camp

he lived through the new deal. he saw how the supreme court repealing important laws of the new deal really hurt roosevelt just as president obama's health care program if it had been overruled by the court, it would have been a political blow. so i think that he wanted someone that he could trust and with whom he was intimate on the court who would quietly keep him abreast of what the court was doing. not illegal, but these days it would be very improper. and when he made, he appointed the chief justice in 1968, the nomination was killed for a number of reasons, bun of them was that -- but one of them was that there was too much that he was writing speeches for johnson, was on the telephone with him all the time giving political advice. so as a result of this, members of the court nowadays are much more distant. >> host: michael beschloss is our guest on booktv's "in depth" program. we have a little less than an hour left. mohamed in dearborn, michigan, good afternoon. >> caller: good afternoon. how are you? >> ho
